Messiah

Album by George Frideric Handel & Cambridge Choir of King’s College

Messiah is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, first performed in Dublin in 1742. The work blends Baroque choral and orchestral writing with English-language Biblical texts, balancing intimate solo arias with expansive choral movements, and it represents a key work of Handel's later period that influenced the development of the choral repertoire.
